This is the third year the Penn Center for Innovation has led a group of University-affiliated startups to the conferences and festivals in Austin.

The Sachs Program for Arts Innovation is no longer receiving inquiries for its 2018/2019 grant cycle. Our annual grants process will reopen in the fall of 2019. Please sign up for our newsletter to stay informed.

The Sachs Program’s grantmaking supports innovative arts activities throughout the Penn community, providing funding to Penn faculty, staff, students, departments, programs, and centers. Our vision is that the arts at Penn are valued and embraced as a creative catalyst, driving innovation, inspiration, and action.
